The catchphrase "Show me the money!" was brand new. Monica Lewinsky was an un-famous White House intern, new episodes of "Friends" were airing on TV, Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls were winning the NBA Finals and the Tennessee Titans did not exist.

It was 1996. Each of the below 20 songs were released that year, and each of these tunes will turn 20 years old in 2016. Making them all older than reality-TV personality Kylie Jenner.

Some tracks contain explicit lyrics.

"You're Makin' Me High" Toni Braxton

Four-minutes-and-27-seconds of sensual '90s R&B with a fitting amount of baby-baby- baby-baby-babys in the lyrics. And the "high" in the title did not refer to height. Comely singer Toni Braxton stands 5-foot-1.

"C'mon N' Ride It (The Train)" Quad City DJ's

A perfect example of '90s "Jock Jams" material. This top five hit from Florida combo Quad City DJ's (the apostrophe after "DJ" is intentional) is based on "Theme from Together Brothers," a 1974 disco-ish instrumental by Barry White's The Love Unlimited Orchestra.

"Woo Hah!! Got You All in Check" Busta Rhymes

Back when he attended Brooklyn, N.Y.'s George Westinghouse Career and Technical Education High School, Trevor Smith would battle-rap schoolmate Shawn Carter. A few years later, Smith would become known as Busta Rhymes, a name bestowed to him by Public Enemy's Chuck D, and Carter would go by the stage appellation Jay Z.

"Big Bang Baby" Stone Temple Pilots

California's Stone Temple Pilots ruled rock radio for much of the '90s, with such songs as "Sex Type Thing," "Vaseline" and "Sour Girl." "Big Bang Baby" is late, great frontman Scott Weiland at his slinkiest and glammiest.

"If It Makes You Happy" Sheryl Crow

God bless Sheryl Crow for doing in the '90s what Tom Petty did in the '80s - adding rock 'n' roll coolness to pop music. The singalong, swaggering lyrics on "If It Makes You Happy" include "OK, I still get stoned. I'm not the kind of girl you take home."

"One Headlight" The Wallflowers

Bob Dylan's son Jakob Dylan, The Wallflowers frontman, ended up writing some pretty good songs himself - and looking quite dreamy while singing those songs in music videos. Sepia-music master T-Bone Burnett produced sophomore Wallflowers LP "Bringing Down the Horse," which contains "One Headlight."

Brooding, azure-eyed singer/songwriter Fiona Apple was still a teenager when her debut studio LP "Tidal" dropped. She writhed memorably in the music video for "Criminal," which was directed by Mark Romanek, who's helmed many other famous clips ranging from Nine Inch Nails' "Closer" to Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off."

"The Distance" Cake

Trumpet-dappled, deadpan alt-rock ditty "The Distance" is perhaps the only song to be covered by both Reliant K and Alvin and the Chipmunks. Sacramento band Cake were able to translate "The Distance," built around guitarist Greg Brown's Jimmy Page-ish guitar lick, into platinum sales for their "Fashion Nugget" album.

"3AM" Matchbox 20

Orlando, Fla. band Matchbox 20 unleashed this merciless earworm on an unsuspecting public as part of their debut LP "Yourself or Someone Like You." Singer Rob Thomas' goofy facial expressions and gesticulating during the song's music-video made some MTV viewers at the time, or at least this one, want to punch him in the face.

"The Beautiful People" Marilyn Manson

Shock-rocker Marilyn Manson and bassist Twiggy Ramirez wrote this industrial-staccato jam in a hotel room somewhere in The South a couple years before the song's release on "Anichrist Superstar," a disc co-produced by Nine Inch Nails brainiac Trent Reznor.

"Wannabe" Spice Girls

"I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want ..."

"Bulls on Parade" Rage Against the Machine

In general, rap-rock is more pestilence than genre but this menacing RATM track is pretty undeniable, thanks to a rhinoceros-heavy groove.

"Killing Me Softly with His Song" Fugees

Many music fans know Fugees' R&B/rap hybrid (which benefitted greatly from Lauryn Hill's sultry-soulful vocals) was aped from Robert Flack's chart-topping 1973 version (and goosed with A Tribe Called Quest's "Bonita Applebum" sample), but fewer know folkie Lori Lieberman released the song, co-written with Charles Fox and Norman Gimbel, a year before that.

"What I Got" Sublime

Sublime singer Bradley Nowell never got to know how successful his reggae-rock band's song "What I Got" would become. He died of a heroin overdose before the song was released on Sublime's self-titled third LP.

"Elevators (Me & You)" OutKast

A metaphor for fame's ups and downs, from now-iconic Atlanta rap duo OutKast.

"Follow You Down" Gin Blossoms

Tempe, Arizona band Gin Blossoms' tuneful folk-rock nugget became a top-10 hit. But the song actually came together at the last minute during recording for their "Congratulations... I'm Sorry" LP.

"Virtual Insanity" Jamiroquai

Stevie Wonder should have sued comically hatted Jamiroquai singer Jay Kay for vocal identity theft on "Virtual Insanity." History remembers the track more as a music video than an actual song.

"Blue" LeAnn Rimes

LeAnn Rimes was just 13 when her debut album "Blue" was released. The disc, particularly the title-track, originally written and released by Bill Mack in 1958, displayed the young Texas singer had vocal chops and Patsy Cline-esque feel well beyond her age.
